No, that's not what I meant. What I meant was if you decided to use the attack
and it misses you would still have to pay the cost of that attack. Versus a
fail wouldn't cost you anything and you could try to use the move again. So
think of it this way, in Ian's maps, every time you attack it cost you three
action points. If you attack and the attack Mrs. you still lose three Action
points. But if the attack fails, you don't lose anything and you can try the
attack again
So you still have to obey the rules of whatever action points or whatever
points you're using in your maps for attack and skills, but if it fails you
don't lose any but if it misses you do. I'm out of ideas for how to clarify
this anymore. So if it still confuses anybody, just forget about it
